Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether immediate weight-bearing following foot and ankle surgery provides similar or superior results to the traditional non-weight-bearing post-operative course, while reducing the disuse atrophy and length of rehabilitation necessary to recover during the transition to weight-bearing following an extended course of non-weight-bearing. This will be done by way of clinical follow-up, serial radiographs and/or other appropriate imaging modalities, and patient reported outcomes by way of AOFAS and SF-36 surveys.

Primary Outcome

American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale as it pertains to the patient's ankle/foot. Pain, Function, Alignment Score 0-100, 100 being most healthy
